Google acquired 217 patents from IBM, according toSEO by the Sea. Google’s most recent acquisition of patents from IBM, completed in the last week of December, comes after acquiring patents last summer. SEO by the Sea discovered the acquisition from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and we do not know the exact details currently. Google will most likely send out a letter giving exact figures soon.

Last summer, Google acquired Motorola Mobility for its 17,000 published patents and almost 7,500 pending patents. The acquisition is still going through, but Google put up $12.5 billion for the company. Google continues to strengthen its patent portfolio to protect itself from lawsuits.

As already mentioned, Google acquired 1,022 patents from IBM in August and 1,030 more in July. Google’s wide range of patents will help protect the company. We will update when Google releases a statement regarding the matter.
